Ben Patrick is better known as Knee Over Toes Guy. And you can find him on Instagram and everywhere else as Knees Over Toes Guy. He is the founder of Athletic Truth Group ATG, an online and brick and mortar training system rooted in rehabilitative strength and joint health. After years of debilitating knee and shin pain, including multiple surgeries, he rebuilt his body from the ground up. And his performance going from sub twenty inch vertical to a documente forty two inch leap. He's the author of Knee Ability Zero and other books on fitness and recovery. He's become a phenomenon online. And I should note there is a companion video for this episode where Ben and I walk through all of the exercises we discuss together. So if you want to see me with beginners' eyes going through this asking questions with him, then you can check it out. And you can find that on youtube.com slash Tim Ferris. T-I-M-F-E-R-R-I-S. You can also find a video pinned on Ben's Instagram. That's knees over toes guy. And that runs through a more comprehensive version of what we did in person.

But if you want the minimum effective dose. Go to the YouTube dot com slash Tim Ferris and you'll see what we did, especially making some adjustments for my current back pain. And if you want to see the more comprehensive stuff, you can check out his Instagram. We also get into a lot more than just exercise. Ben asked me some questions about how to navigate different decisions and integrity and so on in podcasting business, et cetera.
